I don't think daila ojeda would look out of place either.

Quite a good video of Adam Ondra on La Rambla. He seems to be actually trying! Quite exciting falls he's taking too!

Indeed, and he seems to have developed Sharma's 'sa' shouting!

[Will Hunt]

Nice to see him make an effort for once 

[magpie]

I'm developing an irrational hatred of everyone who does it; I don't care how hard they are trying.  It's not even a word.

I think it is in some weird buddist circles..... Or something.

[magpie]

Don't try and justify it, Adam, that'll just make me develop an irrational hatred of you instead

The buddhist thing does sound familiar; but since when has Ondra been a buddhist?

Well,  he is an impressionable young lad. A strong one, but still impressionable. Maybe he has bought into the Sharma hype!

Never scared of missing a few clips is he?

What's the deal with the massive jug "feet only, no hands"???  ???

What's the deal with the massive jug "feet only, no hands"???  ???

I think when Ramon did the 1st ascent he didn't use that hold for his hands. But Sharma and Edu Marin did use it. There was some debate about the grade using that hold if i recall?  I think Ondra purposefully didn't use it??   

[Jaspersharpe]

Ondra missed it out on purpose but also said that it was "nonsense to consider it prohibited" on 8a.spew.

Amazing how many of the top sport climbs are connected with some sort of controversy.
Akira (how dare he claim he's so much better)
Orujo (How dare he chip)
Realisation (how dare he rename)
La Rambla extension (how dare he add two grades for 5m extra climbing)
Chilam Balam  (how dare he claim he's so much beter)

Why doesn't this happen in bouldering? I suppose there was the Dreamtime thing a while ago. And more than a few overgrades. But nothing like the same levels of general fuss stirred up.

Just found this. Cristian Brenna on why Americans are better: http://www.lasportiva.com/Magazine/inglese/realizzazioni/evoluzioneArrampicata.htm

Its considered unsportsman like to go out climbing without having drunk vast quantities of beer beforehand

Tis good stuff.

I climb really badly on granite. I should try to get to grips with it one of these days.
